“Because of the salary we receive, we are not able to save. What I’ve saved, I’m going to use it for the graduation of my child.”
Meet Mercy, a mother from Katutubo Village, an Indigenous community in the Philippines, who prepares Thrive’s nutritious school meals each day. Through her work, Mercy helps provide daily meals to children in her community while earning an income to support her own family.
As a mother, Mercy understands the importance of providing for her children and building a future for them. She shares the challenges families in her community face, from financial limitations to traditions surrounding early marriage, and her determination to save what she can for her child’s education and graduation.
From Mercy: “It is so nice to talk like this…even if our languages are different.”
Your support creates opportunities for mothers like Mercy to earn an income, provide for their families, and help build a brighter future for the next generation.
